What.....
This is St.Pirlo you are talking about.
You can't criticise him.

Nice, wasn't Campbell but I ain't even mad.

The ref is brutal, I fear for Costa Rica's chances of going on to win this

kevohmsford

It was a great header from Ruiz. Totally deserved after the referee bottled the penalty decision.

Nuri Sahin

I blame Mr. Irving for Costa Rica taking the lead. Worrasap.

duffman13

I'd love to stitch Robbie Savages lips together. Boring me to death

microsim

The English just have to remain positive and still believe that they can still get out of this group. Lol.

kevohmsford

Half time 1-0 Costa Rica.

mike65

If Costa Rica win today then one of Italy and Uruguary are going out.

Think about it.

A Dub in Glasgo

Great to see Costa Rica get a deserved lead, how the ref did not give the penalty is beyond me

Diabhal Beag

This is the best WC ever btw.

Does the goal line technology instantly send a signal to the referee? Or do they have to wait for the replay?

What is going to happen so if the linesman/ref doesn't give a goal and it does go over the line?

Fingers crossed CR hold on now, that would be an epic match if that were the case.

Yes I believe the referee knows within 2 seconds If it's goal or no goal.

Fukc, was going to put money on Costa Rica to beat Italy last night but forgot to.

Ref gets a signal instantly, no issues.

Ref's watch immediately lets him know whether it's a goal

Unsung Hero

England will probably find that Italy get back in this game and win, only to lose by another one goal margin to Costa Rica.

Would have been interesting to see if the ref would've given that goal if there was no goal line technology

tigger123

How that was never a pen is beyond me. Justice though!

Cypher_sounds

Lineker crying about Balotelli's misses into his Italy top lol priceless.

Balotelli trolling England for sure.

whiskeyman

Lineker must feel like a right idiot wearing that Italian jersey!

gazzamc

It's looking like balotelli won't be getting that kiss lol

About time to see some 21st century technology finally being adopted by FIFA.

The Italians don't like it up em!

Bit of a shamozzale in the tunnel at halftime.

Just a pity that watch looks like a Tiger LCD game from 1994.

"Beep......beep......beep. GOAL! *midi 'cheer' (white noise)*"

First touch has been poor from the Italians.

don't think it would've, Buffon was in the way of the assistant's view.

SlickRic

Costa Rica blowing any argument of lack of talent in the England ranks completely out of the water.

Zico

The ref is very bad.

LightningBlue

Balotelli and Candreva have been poor. Italy could do with bringing on Immobile or Insigne for either.

Cassano's already made a difference since he came on.

Hodgson the problem for me, the British media a big part of it too

mike65

Insigne coming on, have to throw Immobile on as well you'd think.

Stevecw

Italy in serious trouble here, Costa Rica are way better than any of us expected. Decent side

LightningBlue

Insigne on for Candreva. Called it.

Immobile will be on in the next 10 possibly for Balotelli, maybe even Marchisio if Italy go for broke.

carpejugulum

CR and Uru to go through? :-)

Make that English media

Insigne could pull Italy out of the fire, great player for now and the future.

Piss being taken by Costa Rica
